about

Pan African Think Tank Vol. 2 returns with that Tribal Trill sound, combining Southern American beats with African grooves and percussion, but this time, taking the stories of the great ancestors: Hatshepsut, Nzinga, Toussaint, Malcolm, and putting them into song form, something that resonates with today’s time—lyrics to remember the history, lyrics to propel inspiration to push us forward.
